  1. It was entirely intentional, because I wanted to demonstrate the kind of non-punctuated questioning that was ticking me off. Don’t you think I know how to use a question mark?

  2. Your coding didn’t work because you put the / in the wrong spot on that last /b.

This post no verb.

Me no verbs! Me no verbs!

Yes, of course I know that you know how to use a question mark. What, do you think I’m stupid.:slight_smile:

Thanks for the correction on the coding, I knew it was something simple.

I make my living fixing grammar and punctuation mistakes. Slowly, I am getting used to the fact that I cannot fix them all. What hurts worse is that, on this board, I cannot even fix my own mistakes without creating an addendum post, which takes up valuable electrons. I feel your pain!?

If you consider a question to be a request for information, it needn’t end in a question mark. For instance, suppose I were to say “I wonder why people’s lack of question marks upsets racinchikki.” That’s definitely a request for information, but to end it with a question mark would be improper.

That said, those who ask direct questions had damn well better use question marks.
